Deseret Western Railway

Deseret Western Railway

The Deseret-Western Railway is a private railroad operating in northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado. It is owned by the Deseret Generation & Transmission Co-operative, and exists to transport coal from the co-operative's Deserado Coal Mine (northeast of Rangely, Colorado) to their Bonanza Power Plant (near Bonanza, Utah). The length of the railway is about 35 miles.

The railroad is electrified, using an overhead catenary system to supply power to its locomotives. Motive power includes 7 General Electric E60-2 locomotives, two of which were built for the Deseret-Western, and five which were acquired secondhand from the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México.

The Deseret-Western does not interchange with any other railroad and is completely isolated from the national rail network.
